NEW BRUNSWICK, n. j., March b.
Thomas II. Ayres returned from New
York this morning and proceeded to
the Office of Judge Woodbridge Strong.
There he met face to face the Crund-
ages of Piscataway, with whom he
must contest the right to his mothers
property. With him came Miss
Jeanette Snider of New York who has
known of his whereabouts for years.
The result of the family gathering was
kept secret, but it was known that
Ayres has produced letters show
ing his correspondence with
the executors of the Den
mead estate giving a detailed ac-
count of his life, and described his
visit here in 1871, when he vainly en-
deavored to induce Cornelia Denmead,
his mother, to give up the degrading
life she was leading. Judge Strong is
to-day acting as peacemaker. trying to
bring about an amicable settlement.
Should tire Brundages refuses to be-
lieve Ayres' story and doubt his iden-
tity Judge Strong will then make his
choice of clients.

New YoE;I, March 81. Tke Herald
prints letter from Archbishop Lynch
of Toronto to Lord Randolph Churchill.
The archbishop pays high compliments
to Churchill's talents and congratu-
lates him on retiring from the cabinet.
He states the object of the letter is to
ask Lord Randolph to study the Irish
question from standpoint of justice
TO all men, and asks him to join Glad
stone and bring peace and prosperity
to Ireland, and effect Il more stable
union between England and Ireland
He calls attention to the delays in the
land courts, of which the landlords are
availing themselves to make evictions
and says the British government is
prostituting its powers in aiding these
evictions. The archbishop says: ITO
rule by injustice is hard and hopeless
task. Let the landlords receive a fair
rent, not oppressive, and let them re-
store to the poor tenants the over pay
ment of past years. There are unmis-
taxable signs in England of a growing
volcano, which, l trust, English pru-
dence will avert. The emhers have
been very unwisely fostered there. To
fete Garibaldi and company is to can
oniZe revolution III its worst form.
VIII the time ever come when insular-
ity will begin to have some regard
for the honest public opinion of the
world. The arch bishop points To the
influence of the Irish in Australia and
the United States, and claims the Irish
vote is the balance of power in the lat
| ter. He intimates that the Irish sent
iment may yet sever Canada from Eng
land and concludes: I'VE must not
forget how the great Roman emperor
| fell. England is not beyond the reach
of eternal Justice

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Dr. L. l..
Sewers, one of the most prominent
physicians of Washington, in an inter-
view with a reporter, declared that
there is danger that Presidents Cleve-
land will not live through his term I'M
less there is a change in his mode of
living. DIR. Sewers, six months before
Mr.. Manning's illness. made the same
prediction with regard to the Secretary,
and advised a friend to warn him of
the danger. In the interview. DIR.

dition, and while it is in no sense
dangerous, it will not be long before
there will be reasons for alarm. Presi-

NEW YORK, March 2I.-The devel-
opments point strongly to- the Atchison
as the corporation that will ultimately
acquire control of the Baltimore Il
Ohio Railroad. This view is believed to
be confirmed by the frequent confer
ences which have lately been held at
the Office of Frank G. Hollins & Co.,
at which Irving a. Evans, of Boston.
was present. Among Others present at
different times were John ID. Perry, of
st. Louis; Morrison, of the Chicago,
Burlington q Quincy; President G. II.
Andrews, of the Pittsburg. Cincinnati
* Toledo, and ID. 5. Wing, President of
the st. Louis q Chicago.
When /. Hollins returned from the
West to-day he was accompanied by
President Judson, of the st. Joe ~ st.
Louis Railroad, which property, it is
stated, has already been sold to an old
interest. While ON his Western trip
Mr.. Hollis closed contracts for the inn
mediate construction of 81 miles of the
Central Missouri system. 1t is known
that Mr.. Hollins has been approached
many times in reference to the Balti-
more IL Ohio deal but he refused to
connect himself with it. No Informal
tion can be obtained from the Ives
party regarding the payment of the

Wanted to Knl Himself.

DUCK CREEK, Texas, March 2I.-
While an engine was standing on the
side track here, an Englishman, calling
himself John King, came up and said
lie was accused of committing crime
at Mckinney. and that mob was
after him. He requested the engineer
to move his engine little so he could
kill himself, but not being accommo-
dated, he stepped back a few PAGES
and butted his head against the driver.
After repeated blows on that side he
went to the other side and commenced
hammering his head against the other
driver. Just then a Waterman came
up and, after desperate struggle, sue
ceeded in stopping King, but not until
much of his hair was off and the top of
his head terribly cut and bruised and
covered with blood. King was taken
in charge by deputy sheriff and taken
to Dallas. He had to be given an
opiate before he could be managed.

NEW YORK, March 2l.-The New
York dry goods trade held meeting
today, which was prompted by notitica-
ton from the trunk lines representa-
tives that on and after April Il new elias
sification for dry goods would go into
effect. Resolutions were adopted in
which it was stated that the new classi-
fication would increase the cost of
freight fifty per cent. on very import
ant and low priced domestic fabrics.
The trade had not been notified or con-
suited upon this question, so vitally af-
fecting their interests, and it was re-
solved to be the sense OF the meeting
that the proposed new classitica-
ton is unjust and unreasonable,
and against the general vel
fare of all sections of the
country. The discriminating penalty
of 20 per cent embodied in the new
classification against the use of packing
cases and in favor of canvas covered
bales, was denounced as unreasonable
and opposed to the spirit of the Inter
State Law. y committee Will act from
the trade in protests to the railroads
and if necessary to the Interstate
Commissioner. and the United States
courts. Shippers are instructed to sub
nit to the new classification only under
protest. The Interstate Commits

BUFFALO, March PA special from
jamestown says: y fire at the Chau-
tauqua assembly grounds destroyed
eighty buildings, several of which were
large boarding houses. The total loss
will probably exceed 100000. About
sixty families remain on the grounds
during the winter season. Citizens
from Mayville and surrounding towns
arrived on the scene and greatly aided
the residents. The fire swept every
thing before it, taking both
sides of Simpson and Summerfield
avenues, from the auditorium to
the Hotel Atheneum. 1t was with
great difficulty that the hotel was saved.
The heroic work of the winter resi-
dents and farmers from the surround
ing country undoubtedly prevented the
destruction of the entire assembly.

All the cottages and boarding houses
in the burned district were furnished
and equipped, and very little furniture
was saved.

taking with him over half a million
dollars is almost as little known as
those of LawtOn. Kirkland has not
been at the Office of the NaYassa Com
pany FOR two days and the same story
is told at the office of the Ammoniate
" Oil Company, of which he was also
partner with LawtOn. The SUPPOSE
ton is that he has gone away, as he
went To the depot with Lawton, and
they took out attachments against
lawton's property, which he himself
had share in. Creditors have not
yet been called together, nor has any
attempt been made to settle with them.
LawtOn s assets amount to about $780,

be made. The principal loss, it is be-
lieved, will fall on the banks.

applied to the settlement of Lawton s

show that LawtOn had totally DESTROYED
